Bob is a pending UFA and has a lot to prove. I expect him to do great things. Right, just like the regular season. He can ask for a trade during the playoffs??

Fun first night of action.
Not surprised to see TB drop the first one, they went into cruise control with the 3-0 lead and stopped attacking. CBJ has been in playoff mode for a while now, so this may have been the wake up call the Bolts needed.
Pitt/NYI is going to be a great series to watch, some good hatred (for today’s softer NHL).
Nashville dropping one to the Stars was a bit of a shock. Rinne continues to disappoint in the playoffs.

Preds came out smashing bodies like bowling pins in the first...but couldn't maintain that intensity...kind of punched themselves out.
Kind of what happened to teams like StL and Anaheim who tried to beat up on the Hawks in the 'glory years'.

I think there's a good chance the Jackets beat the Bolts. It's only like 60/40 Bolts, Bob is that good and I sense an upset. Good luck with that Predictably, the Jackets win. And Bob is named one of the three stars of the game. Now to win game 2 on the road and they are exactly where they were a year ago in the series against the Capitals.

CBJ has been in playoff mode for a while now, so this may have been the wake up call the Bolts needed. Funny Jon Cooper said the bolts were attacking too much when they had the lead, not that they stopped attacking like you noted. Not sure which is the case I didn't see the game, but if your right then Cooper is seeing things way different than they are and that wouldn't be good for them the rest of the round.

The way yesterday went I wouldn't not be surprised if Toronto grabbed game 1. Just a feeling...god help us all if they do...

Funny Jon Cooper said the bolts were attacking too much when they had the lead, not that they stopped attacking like you noted. Not sure which is the case I watched and it was neither. It was Columbus stepping up and playing with fury. Tampa wasn't ready for that and got hemmed in their own zone, then trying to do things with the puck when it was clear the opposition just wanted each puck more. That's when you simplify your game and just get everything deep, not set up spinaround back hand saucer passes in the neutral zone. Intelligence matters more than skill. Jackets deserved this game because they wanted it more. That arena was awfully quiet in the third period, at least on TV. I'm not saying it would have turned the game around, but you got to think a little energy would have helped. The Bolts needed something extra definitely. Obviously Cooper's job, but it's the fucking playoffs - make some noise, assholes!

Question, if Tampa blows this series is Cooper's head in the guillotine?

One more thing about CBJ@TBL game 1:
Josh Anderson is a sexy beast.
